Description
While writing compile docs for Debian 12, I had to change many things from the old Ubuntu 20.04 instructions, because the sample config are differed. Even the github actions for this project do a hack to fix the mapnik path. For details on changes, see the commits on this PR
I'm unsure the solution. Dropping support for Ubuntu 20.04 in the sample configs might work.
I haven't looked at the CentOS or Red Hat documentaiton. They might have the same issue(s).

Inspect .github/actions/apache/configure/action.yml around the Mapnik path workaround, then compare the sample config files with the documented platform instructions. Done means the sample configurations and documentation agree across the covered distributions, with the CentOS and Red Hat status resolved.
